Welcome to the Chronicles of a Solitary Heroine, a collection of solo RPG journals written and played by Katrina Ostrander. Each chronicle features a different game system, setting, and characters. Currently, there is only one chronicle, but more will be added over time.
The current chronicle follows the adventures of Erenil, an elf hunter from the nomadic tribes, and Cedran, a dwarf minstrel from the City of Iron, and the perils they face together in the scorched world of Athas. The chronicle takes place in the Dark Sun campaign setting by Wizards of the Coast and uses the official Forbidden Lands solo rules as found in the Book of Beasts, complemented by the Forbidden Lands Solo Expansion by Matt Kay. You can check out the latest chapters below, which represent the game session written in prose alongside the dice rolls and oracle results. The session notes and character sheets are also available to peruse.

By how much, they would find out soon enough. The bones of ancient mountains crowded them on either side, their shadows receding beneath the rays of the crimson sun. Those ridges had helped to shield her, Azhar,… -

10th Day of Morrow in the Year of Priest’s Defiance (Free Year 1) Morning (con’t) For this session, I started using the Mythic Game Master Emulator (Second Edition) to answer some Fate questions about the general course of the narrative. I was learning the Forbidden Lands combat rules as I went, which I’m sure I got wrong in one or more places. I also… -
Chapter 1
The sandstorm had passed, but the the desert’s dangers endured. The heat of the rising sun was heavy against her back—and her waterskins were far too light. One of the first lessons her tribe had taught her was that sun sickness could fell the greatest beast or noblest clan elder. Neither might nor riches would save those caught without water under the harsh rays…
